Skills are accessible from a new menu on your character sheet, you may also learn new skills from that menu as well. You will gain points as you gain XP and they are refunded in the event of an XP reset similarly to how abilities are. The mundane skills are fairly self-explanatory, the magical ones can be a bit more confusing. The intent is that the skill represents using your particular power to do a particular effect, rather than your competency with the Light or Arcane magic in general, etc. You can find the definitions here: http:// https://www.unknown-shores.com/index.php?/topic/486-rpg-skills-information/ Skills have a default associated attribute, but you may override this at a DM's discretion by using the .rpg check <attribute> <skill> <advantage/disadvantage> framework. RPG Checks now roll 2d10 + (Attribute / 2) rounded down + Skill Bonus. Raw attribute checks are instead 2d10 + Attribute. Untrained = +0 Trained = +3 Expert = +6 Master = +10 Generally speaking, expected DCs you will have to pass are: Easy (12), Medium (14), Hard (18), Very Hard (26) If you have feedback on the skill system please do not hesitate to discuss it in the system channel or also DM me directly. - Boss marked characters have more attribute points to spend.

Bulk orders cycle to a new one every hour, or sometimes as you get more XP. -Added new Architect tables and objects New architect tables have been added with plenty of new detail items, with a different method of categorization: Each table will specialise in a category (E.g. fishing) and have subcategories for various gameobjects.

You currently require 5999 productivity to go from 0 to max XP. That's 83 days of XP focused on combat. I've the feeling that you've written this bit but haven't looked at what our updates did to XP distribution a while ago! And a few professions have received new recipes that make them quite a lot faster to level up as well. Plus there's an upcoming update that'll make it even more streamlined. Furthermore, with your starting stats, you can now take on most things that once required a veteran player to handle. The bar has been moved already!

Updated.

Updated for patch 3.1.1b.

Quickly gonna answer as I'm a bit swamped with stuff to do! I'm sure it won't be a perfect answer, but I'll try what I can for now. Part 1: I moved the spawnpoints this morning so that they are only Halfpoint Haven, Drustgarde and the Menhirs port. That should make sure people spawn closer to people. The NPC really needs updating, and I do want to work it over, it's on my todo list. I want to actually math out the XP options VS the gather VS the rest so that they're as fair as possible. Part 2: This needs a lot of thought, but I'm gonna quickly go through an idea I had. *All of these are ideas I had to solve things, and needs investigating to think over how to solve* -Make productivity work as what makes you gain XP, while fatigue can be used to do work that won't progress the char but will still give you an amount of stuff. Essentially increase the types of things you can do but giving you the option to use a renewable resource for it. Needs thinking on how to balance it to not make it overwork. -I want to add farming that uses mainly that mechanic, giving new stuff to allow for faster fatigue removal and other effects -Tools specialised for the work that help you gain more of a specific resource you want (thanks Kogoshi for the idea too) -Need to rework how architect mats are gotten. Either some specialised tool or some command to just get those. I'm reticent to just change prod because a lot of things are keyed off the "value of productivity". And that just means more math. Part 3: Axis is hard at work at the new isle, Vrahn is on vacay till the 16th, Nostra's on leave for personal issues. I am cri. Part 4: I'd love for the system to be more interesting. The recent addition of resistances was to try and help with that, as it gives some depth in how you can counter some stuff. If you'd like to propose some ideas, the BalanceTeam guys on discord are those to speak to. They're the ones in charge of all the mathymaths of combat, and throwing combat abilities at me to code. Part 5: I'll leave this part to answer to Elle, as I put 'em in charge of the Keepers team specifically to solve these issues *shoves work away yey* Part 6: *Hopeful speech about solving issues. I need to get back to work now* Part 7: We need to rediscuss some design on token rarities. One thing we've in the works is trinkets, too, which should add another dimension to equipment. They can even add new abilities!

An updated version of the map given our recent developments.

Introduction "We invite you, brave adventurers, to explore lands uncharted and locked away, cut off from Stormwind and Orgrimmar, from your friends and families. Will you conquer the Doldrums or will you become another lost soul?" Unknown Shores is a World of Warcraft roleplay server, built over Legion 7.1.5, with a plethora of custom crafted game mechanics centered on giving you, the player, the tools to bring the change you want in the world of the Doldrums! Grom’Thar. A player guild base with a mix of world-editing and player-spawned objects through the architect profession. Interactive World For anyone unfamiliar, private servers benefit from the ability to create anything that you can imagine, we have taken this a step further than most servers and given our players unprecedented abilities to interact with and roleplay within the Warcraft setting. Using a tool we call the DMkit we can create custom encounters in the world which can be anything from ambushes to puzzles. D&D Inspired RPG System Our professions are tied into a custom built RPG which replaces the World of Warcraft combat mechanics and professions. This means turn-based combat where you can truly build your character in a manner similar to tabletop RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder. This extends to player professions, which are split between gathering and crafting.The former allows you to gather fish, meat, leather, timber, scrap metal, stone and more whilst the latter can help you make food, armour, weapons, enchantments, bandages and beer or building your own base. Architect One of our professions is the ‘architecture’ which allows players to craft and place in-game objects. This can be anything from the construction of fortifications to simply adding a bit of clutter to a personal dwelling. This particular profession is an incredible tool that gives players the ability to directly edit and modify the world in building camps, forts or whatever they fancy, though be wary not to build your home-from-home somewhere hostile! Fort Drustgarde / Port Sabella / Egtown / Flotsam / The Port of a Thousand Names. A 100% player-made settlement using the architect profession. Custom Lore and Maps Unknown Shores takes place on a set of islands in an area known as the Doldrums, a strange place which is largely unknown in the wider world of Azeroth. Similar to the Bermuda triangle, it is a place which draws in those unfortunate enough to come to close and through mystical means prevents those trapped there from leaving. Using the map making tool noggit, our editors have built a set of islands for you to explore and exploit, with more islands in the works featuring new secrets, encounters and biomes previously not seen on the Unknown Shores. Whilst indeed many of the characters and locations will seem unfamiliar, organisations and banners will crop up on occasion, be it the golden anchor of Kul’Tiras upon the isle of Sotoras or the Zandalari of Bluegill Arch. Dedicated Staff Unknown Shores has a dedicated staff team focused on various aspects of managing a roleplay server with our focus being on creating a friendly environment that reacts to your character's actions. Actions have consequences! Create Your Own Adventure Beyond the tools described above, we offer anyone who wishes to the ability to become a Dungeon Master with the powers and support of the staff team to create their own storylines within our setting. Do you want to take the adventurers on a expedition into the jungles of Opej, or perhaps craft a dungeon for them to discover? Anything is possible and we’ll be here to help you in every way we can.

Unknown Shores v3.10 A lot has been changed to the RPG system as detailed below, the goal was to bring up newer players strength while giving veterans a ceiling that still makes them feel powerful. A more thorough skill patch will come in a few weeks as well as fixes to any issues that occur. Experience Overhaul One of the largest issues players who had left the server aired was that they felt they were left behind, we have tried to rectify this by making experience at lower ranges quicker while those at higher are slowed down. Currently, 10,000xp is the soft cap, with nothing available after then but we do intend to add in customisation options, such as feats akin to D&D. Training: Gaining XP is done by the training command rather than buying XP directly. Training with cost 4 productivity every 5 minutes spent while training is active. The XP gained is multiplied based on your current xp bracket (see table below). Killing an npc of bracket-appropriate CR will immediately spend 12 productivity towards training. Mentoring: A character with 2,500 more XP than you can mentor you to gain experience. To do so they select you and in their RPG handbook > More Options will be a mentor option. You must type .rpg mentor (as the recipient) to gain the training from the mentor. Both MENTOR and MENTORED will spend 30 productivity, while the mentor gains 10 experience, the mentored will gain 60 * their current brackets multiplier XP. XP Bracket multipliers: 0-2999 : *3 3000-6999 : *2 7000-9999 : *1 10000+ : *0.5 Training CR Brackets: 0-1999 : * 2000-3999 : >10 4000-5999: >15 6000-7999: >20 8000-9999: >25 10000+: >30 Attributes: Attributes have been given an overhaul, every player begins with 2 in every attribute (strength, dexterity, constitution, perception, willpower and ingenuity) and have 10 points to spend. Between 0 and 10,000 XP you gain a further 15 points (to a total of 25). To buy attributes, you follow the same method as currently, through the RPG Handbook > More Options > Spend Attributes. The more attribute points (AP) you spend in a single stat, the more expensive the cost as outlined below. Attribute Points are gained at: 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000. Attributes cost: 2-6: 1 point 7+: 2 points Items: We have added a lot of backend changes, including an elemental system which is baked into abilities, elemental stones can also be made by weaponsmiths to enchant a weapon with such elements; outfitters and armoursmiths can now make undershirts and patches to add elemental resistance to armour. We have also added support for stat rings (we will most likely get these out after the new year). We have changed up the dodge calculation to reign in dodge somewhat in order to hopefully make it a bit less wild in the protection it provides. Last but not least, we have added extra rare and epic weapons and armour which you can see further down the patch notes! Professions: Weaponsmith: We have added elemental stones, you can buy the recipes from the trainers in silver-eye. Armoursmith: We have added armor undershirts, you can buy the recipes from the trainers in silver-eye. Outfitter: We have added armor linings, you can buy the recipes from the trainers in silver-eye. You may combine armor upgrades after crafting them. Here's a link providing all the effects of armor upgrades, as well as weapon stones. Mystic: We have added spell scrolls that are able to hold non-class spells that anyone can use for their base energy cost! These scrolls use the stats of the person who scribed the scroll, and have a clamp on the maximum cost based on the rarity of the scroll (6 for uncommon(lesser blank spell scroll), 8 for rare (blank spell scroll) and 10 for epic (Greater spell scroll). These scrolls may also be found out in the wild or events! Architect: Added a local rotation option when placing objects. No more headaches! Profession recipes now give exponentially more XP for higher productivity cost recipes. Gathering nodes now show which materials they yield rather than a rarity. Recipes in recipe books/tables are now ordered by level requirement. Miscellaneous NPC's will no longer give you grave wounds when they incapacitate and execute you. You may still get other kinds of wounds however! Campfire fatigue recovery now speeds up with each consecutive camping tick. Added the .barber command to set your hair anywhere, just fabulous! Changed some boat trips. Fixes: Fixes a bug with fatigue gained when you receive grave wounds. Fixed a few bugs with scrapping, you should be able to scrap more things now. Fixes some language-translations. Fixed a bug involving chest use. Staff: Added .npc set standstate - Gotta get them Hozen dancing!

The Basics Through investment of materials and coin, players are able to initiate a resource-generating business in the Doldrums. This requires the Business-Manager to have found a suitable location for their project, and have the appropriate NPC workers. These businesses can be upgraded to yield resources of higher rarities and allow more concurrent workers. NPCs can be obtained through roleplay in-game, where you may attempt to convince them to work for you. NPCs can also be trained by an appropriate-level character of the related profession, increasing their yield, but also their required wages. To suitably direct the business, the Business-Manager must have a skill level high enough to manage their workers. A character may only manage one business at a time.** Once a business is set up and built, as long as coin is provided, resources will be generated at a given rate and stored in a storage box on-site. Of course, running a business has its own risks: If you place a lumbering operation on Kolai, you may want to hire a few guards too. Just in case. **While you may have multiple business owning characters, they should be full fledged, roleplayed characters. Alts that exist for the sole purpose of managing a business for another character will be investigated. Types of Businesses There're four types of businesses available: Workshops, Lumber camps, Textile-Farms, and Mines. Workshops Workshops allow the manifacturing of basic artificial components: Gears, buckles, enchanting supplies and glass, as well as refined medical plants. Lumber Camps Lumber camps allow the gathering and replanting of woods of all kinds, from paper-grade, up to building materials or enchanted timbers. Textile-Farm Textile Farms are farms specialised in nurturing animals for their leathers and wools, to then be refined in workable materials for everyday, or even uncommon, wear. Mine Mining operations gather resources from deep beneath, be it metals required to craft nails or weapons and armor, or Stone to build fortresses or simple homes. Other Other businesses that provide a different set of basic materials may be possible, put up a ticket and contact staff to explain your idea. For example, a bee cultivation to produce beeswax for (melted) candles. This is handled on a case by case basis, and will only be able to produce relatively commonplace -gathered- materials. Workers Hired work comes in three levels of skill: Untrained, Trained, and Expert. Workers have different efficiency levels in retrieving the materials depending on their skill. Higher skill costs more, but also produces more! Training workers requires the Business-Manager to have a high enough level of the relevant skill. Trained: Requires skill level 20, and 25 productivity or 250 silver to be provided. Expert: Requires Trained Worker, skill level 40, and 35 productivity or 350 silver to be provided. Once hired, each worker can be assigned to work on one resource type for your facilities. They will provide the specified amount of materials every 3 hours, withdrawing the wage in exchange. Example: An Untrained Woodlander set to collect Rugged Timber will produce 2 rugged timber every 3 hours, at the cost of 5 silver. Material Tiers Legend

How we hire people: Every time an application is posted, we make a temporary staff channel to discuss it. The thread is linked, and we talk with the entire staff point per point on who this person is, what would it contribute, or which problems could they bring. We look into what they've been saying and doing in game and in discord. After the initial discussion is solved and if we don't find something that'd outright deny it (Has yet to happen, fyi), we make a new channel in discord with staff and this person. We proceed to interview them, ask questions, and keep speaking back and forth with them. Eventually we make a decision, and said decision is communicated to the applicant. Nowhere in that "Varen's personal list" comes into factor. It is true I have a list of people I want to hire, because I look at the server, the community, and I see some people who shine through. They're not my friends, or family, just people I look at and see "Damn they're good at RP and they are cool to be around". There're no "Limited slots to fill" on staff where "Priority" would apply.. They know who they are because I went up to them and said "hey, why don't you apply? You'd probably do good". The process would be the same. The interview, the whole staff discussion. It's not up to just me. We haven't refused anyone who was "perfectly qualified" for the job. Being "perfectly qualified" includes but is not limited to: Providing quality roleplay, following the server actively, being able to work with the staff we have, not being prone to punishment in game or on discord, having the ability of handling the requirements of the position at hand (tickets for helpers, etcetera). So far, we've had very little in terms of feedback on these forums. Memes on discord and jokes, surely, we've had a lot of those. When it comes to proper, structured feedback, we've had ones related to systems and the RPG, and ones that weren't suited for public complaints. The first were / are being considered, the latter were all answered so far. We had cases of a few that went in public that were then moved in private, and answered there, due to wild inaccuracies of claims / claims repeated that were already answered, whose answer was ignored and put in public for.. Nothing more than having to repeat the very same answers, but this time, by publicising the roleplay around it for everyone to know. We had two such cases: -The Gyreworm -The demon cave Both times this was done by staff who had just started work as a Keeper and had not inquired for the state of the world, or did not have access to the lore required to properly portray those terms due to, pretty much, not having been given the right rank on the forums. The missing logging you're speaking of was related to the event having ended a mere few hours before, and the DM going to sleep immediately after. Had the DM at hand been keeping up with the story, they'd know to refeer to said person before touching that area. Again, new people, growing pains of learning to work together. I can answer the bit that involves my experience: My character has repeatedly lost more and more, to the point where all they have is themselves, some resources, and another person around. A character that was involved naturally through RP, and the fact the guild master of the guild I joined to -just make some mystic stuff with- left things on my lap to handle. Now I don't seek out that roleplay, but if it happens, it happens, and I won't be pushing my character away from it "OOCly" to avoid it. I'll stop being involved with the staff section of it, and leave it to others to handle. Other staff members can speak for themselves, but I believe that there's not a single one of them who would touch a story they're involved with unless it's absolutely necessary to do so, and if they do, there's the rest of the staff to keep an eye on them. And this is one of the things I look for, when hiring people. Being able to be objective in such matters.

We don't want NPCs to compete with players on resources. 25 means they're expensive, and that you should look for players to buy them first. We -do- want to add more uses for silver, but these uses should be for something that players cannot already do on their own.

I always welcome Gnomes that aren't in for the memes. Hallo.

Why hello mister, been a while since I last saw you.

WHY'D IT TAKE SO LONG *angery beating noises*
